I must be more careful in the future, although there’s no need to be distant from my fellow female disciples because of this.”
Chen Dengming thought to himself.
Yet this caution would not change his interpersonal relationships, as he was modest but not unconfident.
The Spirit Boat flew faster than Chen Dengming’s escape speed.
The distance of seven hundred miles was covered in just over twenty minutes.
Arriving at the location, the expressions of many Changchun Sect disciples changed.
Some were shocked to the point of turning pale, their previous excitement about hunting demons vanished.
...
For on the clearing in the forest, bodies were piled up, human and beast alike.
The disemboweled innards and dismembered limbs were scattered over a small mountain of corpses.
Underneath the mountain of corpses, a fire was still burning.
However, due to the light rain falling from the sky, the fire was not very strong, and the bodies at the top had not been burned.
The lower bodies, on the other hand, were burnt to the point of cracking, similar to dry tinder.
A peculiar, unpleasant smell mixed with the stench of corpses, forming thick smoke that was swept over by the wind, causing some of the Changchun Sect disciples to involuntarily retch and vomit off the Spirit Boat.
The Loose Cultivators and some members from the Cultivation Families stationed here were disappointed at the sight, finding these Sect disciples mentally too fragile.
However, they felt better when they saw the stern-faced foundation establishment cultivators, Chen Dengming and Guan Le alight and offer their respectful greetings.
“No need for formalities.
In these extraordinary times, our purpose here is to seek out the demons of the Western Region and eliminate them fully.
What happened here?
Please explain in detail.”
Guan Le asked directly, his face serious, a man of efficiency.
Chen Dengming does not say a word, allowing Guan Le to ask questions while he observes the surrounding conditions, paying particular attention to some massive paw prints in the muddy ground.
“Go, look around to see if there’s anything unusual about the vicinity, and be cautious.”
Chen Dengming pats the Black Cloud Leopard, wanting it to track down traces of the demon around the area.
Even though it’s said that the Demons of the Western Region and Demonic Beasts are different, a Demonic Beast searching for a demon’s trace is clearly easier than humans doing the same.
Guan Le glanced at Chen Dengming, kindly reminding him, “Brother Chen, take care not to let your precious Black Cloud Leopard meet with any accidents.
I won’t take responsibility for it.”
Chen Dengming smiled and nodded in gratitude, but he wasn’t worried at all.
Heizi was very clever and timid.
If there was a problem, it would avoid danger and come to notify him far in advance.
It wouldn’t act rashly.
By this time, most of the disciples from the Changchun Sect had adjusted to the situation.
The physique and mental fortitude of Qi Cultivators were far stronger than ordinary mortals.
Once they adapted, they could quickly calm down.
With the description from the cultivators stationed here, everyone understood the situation.
This place was originally a gathering place for Loose Cultivators, who could not afford to live in the city and had to band together in groups in the forests.
Many of them had fled early from the war zone.
But yesterday, this gathering site was attacked by a demon.
Almost everyone was brutally killed.
Two survivors reported to the nearby Cultivation Families and requested support from the Changchun Sect.
“There about forty Loose Cultivators at this gathering site, including cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.
They appear to have been the leaders,
but from the injuries we see, it appears most of them were killed swiftly with little resistance.
We suspect a Foundation Establishment level demon may have been present yesterday…”
A Cultivator from a family spoke with a look of terror in his eyes.
Guan Le frowned, turning to Chen Dengming, “Brother Chen, I plan to send the disciples out to search the area.
Follow current novℯls on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
You and I stay in the air to monitor an area each.
Use your Divine Sense to search the surroundings.
If anything is discovered, we will rush over to aid immediately, how does that sound?”
Chen Dengming nodded in agreement, “As Senior Brother Guan says.”
Once this plan was formed, they had to bear responsibility.
If an accident occurred resulting in large numbers of disciples being killed, Guan Le would be severely punished.
Thus, he sought Chen Dengming’s agreement, dividing the responsibility between them.
Chen Dengming seemed indifferent to this, their strategy seems logical.
Now that they were here, apart from doing their utmost to ensure their own safety, he also hoped to resolve the trouble here as soon as possible.
At the same time he needed to ensure the safety of the disciples, otherwise they would have to face criticism.
With that, under Guan Le’s arrangement, nearly fifty disciples were divided into five teams with all necessary supplies to search the forests in different directions.
Chen Dengming and Guan Le flew to the top of the forest, each in charge of a large area, slowly scanning with their Divine Sense while providing cover for the many disciples.
Although the forest was vast, with the Cultivators’ search speed, they expected to finish within five days at most.
If they didn’t find the Demon by then, they could move on to the next point of assistance.
Four days passed without any discovery.
The Cultivators searched anxiously during the day and set up defensive camps at night, maintaining a strict guard.
On the fifth day, the disciples had obviously relaxed, thinking the demon had probably left already.
Guan Le even shared the same opinion.
During these days, he had searched many more places with his Divine Sense and found some traces left by the demon, but he did not find the demon itself.
From various signs, he was almost certain the demon had left.
However, Chen Dengming became more cautious and held the opposite opinion, believing that the demon was probably still lurking in the forest, or even just around them.
